Rails Vault

Simple and easy to add settings, preferences and so on to any ActiveRecord model. 

bundle add rails_vault
rails generate rails_vault:install
rails db:migrate

Usage

Generate a vault:

rails generate rails_vault:add MODEL::VAULT [field:type field:type]

Example:

rails generate rails_vault:add User::Preferences \
  time_zone:string \
  datetime_format:string \
  hotkeys_disabled:boolean

This will:

  1. Create a vault class at app/models/users/preferences.rb
  2. Add vault :preferences to your User model

Define vault attributes

class User::Preferences < RailsVault::Base
  vault_attribute :time_zone, :string, default: "UTC"
  vault_attribute :datetime_format, :string, default: "dd-mm-yyyy"
  vault_attribute :hotkeys_disabled, :boolean, default: false
end

Read and write values

user = User.first
user.create_preferences # => User::Preferences Create (6.3ms)  INSERT INTO "rails_vaults" …
user.preferences.time_zone # => "UTC"
user.preferences.hotkeys_disabled? # => false

user.preferences.update time_zone: "Amsterdam", hotkeys_disabled: true

user.preferences.time_zone # => "Amsterdam"
user.preferences.hotkeys_disabled? # => true

Note: currently rails_vault is only tested against PostgreSQL, but PRs for improvements to other databases are appreciated.
